My work sits at the intersection of psychology and education. I believe growth is not reserved for moments of crisis. It can be intentional, gradual and meaningful along the way.
Hi there!
I'm Vitória, a Brazilian psychologist based in Germany, passionate about how our early experiences and emotional development shape who we become as adults.
I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Developmental and Educational Psychology, with a specialisation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Over the years I've also integrated Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into my practice, because understanding yourself is genuinely a never-ending journey, and so is mine as a professional.
My background in education shapes how I think about growth and change. I believe people don't only learn through hardship, and I bring that perspective into every session.
I work with warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person's experience. Together, we look at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours connect, and what gets in the way of living more aligned with what truly matters to you.
Looking forward to connecting with you, Vitória Lorenzi
My work is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with a strong integration of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Rather than following a rigid protocol, I adapt both frameworks to each person's unique experience, values and goals.
In practice, this means we look at how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours influence each other, and work together to shift what is getting in your way. ACT also invites us to explore what truly matters to you, so that change feels meaningful and not just mechanical.
I place a lot of value on collaboration. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to offer structure, tools and a space where you can think more clearly.
Here is what working together looks like:
We start with a free 30-minute intro call to get to know each other. You share what brought you here, we set initial goals together, and I give you a clear overview of how the process works and what to expect.
From the first session onwards, we work collaboratively and at your pace. Sessions are structured but flexible, and I often suggest between-session practices to help you apply what we explore in real life.
The overall aim is to leave you with lasting tools, not just relief in the moment.
